24/7 "safe place" for every student when struggling (anxiety, loneliness etc.)

Would it be possible to create a university students-only space open 24/7 in the university to offer a quiet and relaxing place where they can go if feeling unsafe/anxious? It might sound silly and impossible to realize, given all the "what if" and "but", however, I felt that if such space existed it would be very helpful for struggling students, especially in the middle of the night. The "safe place" could be in/near the 24h lab and could be used during the night as a space where to practice mindfulness or simply offering some information on managing anxiety and how to keep yourself safe when you’re struggling.

    I think that this is a really good idea, even though the SA has the gender and sexuality safe space it isn't accessible at all times.
